GOSPEL ACCORDING to TSTAT: BEST ALBUMS of 2011

My favourite albums that came out this year and a little blurb about each one. Also a link is provided if the album in particular happens to be a free download. These aren't in order.

1) SUBROSA - NO HELP FOR THE MIGHTY ONE
"Sludgey grunge-infused doom with eerie violins, witchy girl vocals and even some traditional folk elements. Good for rainy days that take place after the fall of civilization."

2) KEN MODE - VENERABLE
"Like this album or get pummelled to death by it. It wins, either way."

3) YOUNG WIDOWS - IN AND OUT OF YOUTH AND LIGHTNESS
"A complete reinvention of themselves. I like when bands do that, even when it sucks."

14) HTRK - WORK (WORK, WORK)
"It's like there's this girl who is as horny as she is depressed and someone gave her some early Skinny Puppy demos, an 808, some reverb patches and a handful of 'ludes. And said 'Right, get on with it'."
